In Russia, they celebrate their culture. Here in the western world, the rulers do everything to destroy our culture.
May God bless Russia.
America has always liked to do its own thing. That’s why the early Fathers moved away, to break free from the bounds of other cultures. We’re new enough we can make our own culture and so far its’ been successful. I know, it’s upsetting when people do their own thing but you’ll get over it one day. Independence is strength.

So this is where the Burning Man come from…
Burning man is a worldwide phenomenon. Many cultures practice burning man.
Impressive. No masks at all. What about the pandemic? This scares me a lot.
What’s this have to do about butter?
Russians use a lot of butter, when baking pancakes and grease them with butter.
It’s just like the Christian tradition of Lent. You use up the butter & rich foods before the Lenten fast, which is usually 45 days until Orthodox Easter.
